Rolling Stones Rock Macau

The Rolling Stones rocked Macau with their
first-ever concert at The Venetian Macau’s Cotai Arena last night
(Sunday).

The legendary band took the stage in front
of a sold-out audience of over 10,000 enthusiastic fans for The
Rolling Stones 14 On Fire tour presented by Prudential Corporation
Asia together with its asset management arm Eastspring
Investments.

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie
Watts and Ronnie Wood took to the stage to overwhelming response,
along with former member Mick Taylor who appeared as a special
guest.

The high-energy concert kicked off with “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,”
followed by “You Got Me Rocking” Some timeless tunes the audience
was treated to included “It’s Only Rock and Roll”, “Wild Horses”
and “Doom & Gloom”.

Another highlight of the
eagerly-awaited evening included the fantastic stage design with
the ubiquitous tongue and lips logo the Rolling Stones are famed
for. The ‘Tongue Pit’ general admission area in front of the stage
gave screaming fans a 360 degree concert experience.

Known for their ground-breaking sets and use of cutting-edge
technology, the Stones’ set design featured video screens and
special effects that enhanced the high-octane experience of
attending a live Stones show.

Fans rocked, swayed and sang along
as the Stones delivered a bevy of monster hits, enjoying the electric atmosphere created in the Cotai Arena by the energetic
performance.

The Rolling Stones have been singing
and touring for five decades, making them one of the longest running rock
’n’ roll bands in the history of modern music.

“We made history Sunday night by bringing the
one-and-only Rolling Stones to Macau,” said Edward Tracy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sands China Ltd. “We have
introduced many international names to Macau concert goers over
the years – both talented and unique individuals. Welcoming a band
as celebrated, loved and internationally acclaimed as the Rolling
Stones is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we and Macau are
very privileged to be able to host one of their touring shows.
This marks one more move in Sands China’s support in establishing
Macau as the place to be in Asia for non-stop superstar
entertainment and an enormous diversity of leisure and business
attractions. With each mega-event, our city’s global profile as a
world centre of tourism and leisure reaches ever higher.”

After
rocking fans in Macau, The Rolling Stones 14 On Fire Tour carries
on, with another gig to take place at Sands Grand Ballroom at
Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.
